Food Truck Catering
Catering in Franklin Park, IL
The flight paths overhead and the freight lines running through town give Franklin Park a particular kind of industrial poetry — a place that works hard and means it. Colorado Pig Rig fits that character: slow-smoked, unhurried, built on patience and fire. From the parks along the river to the event spaces tucked into quiet corners of the village, the smoke follows wherever Franklin Park gathers.

What We Cater in Franklin Park, IL
A mid-size city with cold winters and deep community roots has little patience for food that doesn't deliver. Franklin Park turns out for block parties, park events, and riverside afternoons with the kind of crowd that expects ribs with a real bark and pulled pork that took all day — and Colorado Pig Rig is exactly that kind of patient, smoke-forward operation.

Stage Wright Theater creates a before-show window that Colorado Pig Rig fills naturally — theatergoers who've already decided to spend their evening well tend to eat the same way. Come summer, Anna Montana Water Park & Memorial Pool becomes one of the village's true gathering magnets, and a smoked-meat option in that orbit earns its place fast. And River Front Park, with the Des Plaines sliding past and the canopy doing its evening thing, is the kind of spot where low-and-slow BBQ doesn't just feed people — it completes the scene.
Illinois does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the Village of Franklin Park.
Colorado Pig Rig and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Thomas
Food Truck Booking Agent
Real-world truck builder and operator perspective for practical, grounded event booking.
Before a smoker ever rolls up to a Colorado Pig Rig event, Thomas has already worked through COIs, permits, health department alignment, fire suppression, and insurance minimums, drawing on real familiarity with Denver Department of Public Health & Environment requirements and Denver Fire Department standards. That instinct for standards paid off firsthand when a generator shut down mid-event; he traced it to a low-oil safety cutoff, topped it off, and had hearty BBQ service for events back on track with barely a hiccup. His rule for hosts planning smoky BBQ for hungry crowds: plan the service flow, not just the menu.
- Built 200+ custom food trucks through fabrication work
- Operator + builder perspective for practical fit
Thomas will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
